HOW DO I SETUP HA WITH XG FIREWALL AT DIFFERENT LOCATIONS

LEWOLAW over 5 years ago

As seen in the Diagram, I am trying to understand how this scenario will work with two XG devices at different location for High Availability. Does anyone have any idea?

XG HA needs a Link to each other.

If you can setup a Link between both, which has a very low latency, it will basically work.

But keep in Mind, Master will always answer all requests, Slave does not act at all.

If you have split scenario, it could be more efficient, to build two separate/Independent HA Clusters.

Especially if you Link is not direct (For example a fiber cable between both locations).

@LuCar Toni Thank you for that quick response but can you kindly school me more on how the configuration would look like considering the fact that the XG firewalls would be connected with a BGP and IPSec WAN link

It is basically not possible.

You need a direct Link between both appliances.

Therefore that is not present in your case.
